Common use of Using Leave Clause in Contracts

Using Leave. Staff required to report on-site and unable to come to work because they have not or cannot pass the required attestation, can utilize their accrued paid leave or be granted a job protected unpaid leave. Staff who are at increased risk of severe illness from the virus that causes COVID-19 as defined by the CDC or who are 65 or over may, upon request, take an unpaid job-protected leave for the remainder of the 2020- 2021 school year. Staff in this category may use their own accrued paid leave during this time, if available.
